Wedding Party Guide

Your wedding will be one of the biggest days of your life and it is important that everything is exactly how you want it. This means planning for all the decorations including the wedding cake and stand. Although most caterers can supply the cake stand with the wedding cake many couples choose to use a custom cake stand that represents their unique tastes.

Cake stands are available from most catering and party supply stores as well as online. They come in everything from basic models through to the most extravagant designs that you can think of. Many wedding cakes are multi tiered designs, but a 2 tier cake stand is probably the most popular. The most popular style is a simple elegant stand in either silver or gold, but red and white are also quite popular. The best thing about simple wedding cake stands is that they don’t have to cost a lot of money to look great!

For those with more expensive tastes and want a lasting memory of their wedding cake a custom designed cake stand is a great idea. These can be personalized with your unique tastes in mind and you can choose from any design that you would like. This also means that it will be a one-of-a-kind cake stand which means that your wedding cake will be completely unique. It is important to order a custom cake stand as early as possible because it will take some time to be made.

When choosing a cake stand it is a good idea to pick something that matches the rest of your decorations. However, some people choose to have a cake that stands out from the rest so that it becomes a stunning feature. Whichever you choose it is important to take some time over your decision so that you are happy with the result on the big day!

For those of us who are married, we can relate to the dilemma of choosing the gifts for the wedding party. On the bride side, you often have a choice between the same gift for all the girls, or individual gifts for each person. On the groom side, it is usually one masculine gift for everyone in the party. And in some instances, the bride and groom will provide the same gift to both the bridesmaids and the grooms. For example, when my very good friend got married a few years back, him and his wife gave the whole bridal party each a bottle of wine with their names on it and the date of the wedding.

Speaking to the bride, have you ever thought of giving costume jewelry bracelets to your bridesmaids. The reason this can be a great idea is that you can customize the bracelets for relatively cheap but at the same time provide a wonderful keepsake. You could buy the materials for the costume jewelry bracelets at a dollar store or you could go to a craft show or galleria to pick out the pieces. Given that you are likely on a time crunch with the whole scope of the wedding planning, I would suggest placing a custom order at either a local craft store or an online store.

Given that designing costume jewelry bracelets is not a new concept, the process of ordering each bracelet for your bridesmaids should be relatively simple. Depending on how many bridesmaids are in your party will likely determine how much you will spend. If you have only three or four then you can afford to get fancy with several different types of settings. However, if you have 8 or more bridesmaids then you may want to simplify the customization, but not too much that you detract from the design. Remember, like most of the things you do to prepare for the wedding, you want the final product to produce long lasting memories.
